Pu Tiancheng was a little disappointed. He did not expect that His Majesty, whom he had always respected, would treat his opinions with this attitude? Could it be that the Khan, who was always famous and wise, could not see the crux of the problem?

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of Maqikhan have never been afraid of sacrifice, but Tiancheng thought that the current situation was not suitable for the war to continue. The people of Xijiang relied on the city and defended the danger, and the people of Xijiang successfully won the full support of the local people. If we continue like this, the army was too damaged, so Tiancheng thought..." Seeing Bi Xili's gloomy face, Pu Tiancheng did not say anything more.

"Stop the army and stop the battle? Then what is the purpose and significance of our efforts to pay such a price?" Bi Xili's sharp and cold words passed through the hearts of the generals like a sharp knife: "We withdraw our troops like this. Have you ever thought about how the people without the country will evaluate our army. What their children paid such a heavy price in exchange for was futile and nothing? Do you think they can accept it?!"

"Your Majesty, Tiancheng is just a soldier. The duty of the soldier is to fight. Tiancheng wants to point out that the enemy is now defending the enemy and can fully utilize their infantry advantages. However, our Machikhan army has no way to play the cavalry advantages in the southern region. This kind of war is very unfair to our side. Tiancheng only considers this issue from a military perspective. As for how the domestic people think, Tiancheng has not considered that much. But one thing is, if we continue like this, we can only pay a greater price but cannot achieve satisfactory results. Tiancheng believes that this is something that Your Majesty and the domestic people are unwilling to see. In addition, Your Majesty has another problem. Now there is too many casualties and our logistics personnel cannot handle it. There is a sign of plague. If this continues, it is possible that a large-scale plague will break out in the army."

Pu Tiancheng's voice became more and more low, and he seemed to realize the pressure that his Khan had to bear. In this way, the loss of troops and generals returned to the country in a mess. Not only the military, even if the Khan had a high prestige, he would probably be questioned and criticized from all parties. The military would definitely be the focus of attacks on all parties, which is quite unfavorable for the future development of the army. However, if the troops were not withdrawn now and the Second Corps of the Western Xinjiang had joined the battle, this battle would only become more and more difficult. Pu Tiancheng even suspected that Xijiang seemed to intend to use this attrition war to consume the elite and vital strength of his own side. On the one hand, it could also achieve the purpose of training their own army. Looking at their fourth and sixth Corps in the early stage, they were not considered the first-class main force in their Western Xinjiang army, which made people have to doubt Li Wufeng's intentions.

The words of Putiancheng seemed to have played a certain role. Bi Xili's eyes became a little calmer after hearing the word plague. Maqikhan's cavalry advantage was indeed unavailable in the mountains of the peninsula. Especially for the battle of siege and villages like this, the battle of siege to capture cities and villages was not the best at the Maqikhans. If they continue to do so, they could not achieve satisfactory results. This sentence touched Bi Xili. If they could not find a suitable reason to push this responsibility from the army, the army would inevitably be criticized by those forces in the country who have always fantasized about peaceful development, and the development of the army will also be hindered by them in the future. The plague issue is also worrying. Fortunately, Maqikhan had considered this issue before the outbreak of the war. In the summer, the physical problems of soldiers were the first issue that needed to be considered.

Bi Xili is not a fool. He naturally knew that the army had done its best to this point until the war was fought. However, the tenacity and tenacity of the people in the Western Xinjiang and the newly developed weapons did give their side a heavy lesson. But as he said, how can we explain this result to the people in the country when we go back? Before this battle, many voices, including some ministers, opposed the sending of troops to the peninsula, and believed that the Khanate was in the best development space at present, and using the rich land of the two provinces, Yuejing and Anjie, could fully expand the arable land area of ​​the two provinces.

Improving the water conservancy facilities and infrastructure of the two provinces, actively developing grain production, reducing the pressure on domestic food demand, and reducing the dependence on the Nanyang Alliance for grain imports. At the same time, it can also strengthen control over the Ronesian province, increase investment in the mining of Ronesia's rich iron and copper mineral resources, and gradually integrate the entire Ronesian province's economy into the Machikhan's homeland. Now that this war has become like this, even if you agree to withdraw your troops, you must first find a suitable reason, so that the people's dissatisfaction will be vented.

Seeing that Dahan finally fell silent, Putiancheng knew that Dahan had finally calmed down at this time and considered the issue of withdrawing troops. Although Dahan's perspective of the problem that Dahan needed to consider was not exactly the same as that of him, Putiancheng believed that under such circumstances, withdrawing troops should be the wisest choice.

He waved his hand to signal the generals of the army standing around like a foolish bird to leave first. Bi Xili's eyes became a little dark, and the smell of the smell of a stinking spread everywhere in the wilderness. "Tiancheng, you should probably also consider how big the storm we will bring to the country. If there is no suitable reason, the saliva of the domestic people can drown us. This is also the reason why I have been hesitating. But when I saw this scene in front of me, I was considering the possibility of our withdrawal. Mingzhong fought very hard in Kutterdam. Unexpectedly, the combat effectiveness of Li Wufeng's army was so strong. Even a Sixth Corps made Mingzhong in a dilemma. On the way from Kutterdam, I was asking myself, is it really a mistake for us to send troops this time?"

Putiancheng also smiled bitterly. This question seems to be meaningless now. He didn't agree with it very much at the beginning, but sometimes people are always blinded by the immediate interests, and it is inevitable to make mistakes.

"Maybe it's time to withdraw troops now, but we need a suitable reason, or excuse." Bi Xili returned to the battlefield and stroked the short and thoughtful words under his jaw.

"Your Majesty, Tiancheng seems to have heard that the Milanese join forces with Andako and Mahad to conduct military exercises in the east. I wonder if it is over?" Pu Tiancheng asked in contemplation.

As his eyes lit up, Bi Xili seemed to realize the meaning of the other party's words, "It seems that it has just ended. The Three Kingdoms coalition conducted a synthetic drill in our eastern border area, but they did not seem to be too targeted. Does Tiancheng have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you needed an excuse to divert the attention of the domestic people? The Milanese and their Three Kingdoms Alliance attempted to use our sneak attacks at the most tense time of the Western War. Is this a good excuse?" Putiancheng's tone also became gloomy, full of bitterness and helplessness.

After staring at the other party deeply, Bi Xili nodded for a long time: "At this point, I'm afraid that this is the only way to do it."

"What is your Majesty planning to do with the Sanbao?" Pu Tiancheng asked another most sensitive question. Sanbao may be the only gain of the Khanate army's western expedition, but now with the withdrawal of troops, it will become an isolated island. The South Ocean Alliance in the east will not take over. This kind of enclave is meaningless to the Maqi Khanate and cannot be defended. The only way is to give up. Just spit out such a fat meat that fell into his hands so obediently. Both Bixili and Pu Tiancheng felt quite unwilling to accept it. The people in the country would probably not consider whether the city could be defended and would only express dissatisfaction with giving up.

"Well, this is also a difficult problem, but since the general policy of withdrawing troops has been confirmed, there is no need for Sanbao City to stay in Sanbao City. You might as well order the Sanbao garrison to return home through the Nanyang Alliance, so as not to cross the mountainous areas again. Ask the Nanyang Alliance that was originally unwilling to take over Sanbao. If we don't want to, then we will take away all the valuable things that can be taken away in Sanbao City." Bi Xili also hesitated in his words, obviously he was a little inaccurate about his decision.

"Your Majesty no longer considers the local people's opinions?" Putiancheng asked tentatively.

"Hmph, does Tiancheng still think that we may come back in a short time? Now there is no need to keep the kindness of women anymore. Order the local garrison to take away all the things that can be plundered in the local area. If it is really difficult to deal with, they can rule the Japanese merchants who are active in the ports of the Nanyang Alliance. They are very interested in these things that take advantage. If it is not for concern, it will attract opposition from the Nanyang Alliance. It is also a good way to make a profit by handing over the strong men of Sanbao City to the Japanese to sell themselves as slaves. However, this method is a bit too vicious and may cause international criticism, so they have to give up." Bi Xili's face turned a little ferocious at this time. "Now I have to take care of the country first. The excuse of the Milanese threat can only deceive ordinary people. Those ministers know that it is a bit of financial compensation, so I can only give it up."
